Announcing The Above & Beyond “You Got To Go” Remix Contest
Announcing The Above & Beyond “You Got To Go” Remix Contest
14 September, 2011 | 8.53AMNEW UPDATE! We have resolved the issue with the remix parts, which are now available here on Beatport. We regret the delay, and again, thank you for your patience. Good luck in the studio, and have fun!
For Beatport’s next remix contest, we take things higher - Above & Beyond, to be precise. The Anjunabeats founders are offering up the parts to their song, “You Got To Go,” featured on their recent album Group Therapy. Featuring the voice of Zoë Johnston, it’s an uplifting anthem that showcases the group’s unfailingly transcendent touch, and it ought to offer a wealth of inspiration for remixers.
“‘You Got To Go’” is a song about making your dreams come true by acting them out, and not just thinking about them wistfully,” explain Above & Beyond. “If any track was ideal for a remix competition for upcoming producers, then this is it. Pull your finger out!”
The winning remix will be released on Anjunabeats, and will rack up over $1200 in prizes including a TRAKTOR Scratch Pro 2, Izotope Stutter Edit, Sounds To Sample Elements Library and $200 in Beatport credits. The Anjunabeats label team will narrow down their selections to 10 finalists; those 10, along with Beatportal’s top 10 community-voted remixes, will then move on to the final round, with Above & Beyond themselves selecting the grand-prize winner.
The submissions process begins on September 20, and the window for entries closes on Monday, October 3 at 10.00PM MST. Do download the parts now and get cracking - as the song says, “You got to go!”
